This might be the most perfect day.
It’s Tuesday, February 22, 2022 (2/22/22) and the day of the week has the same sound as the number two.
Palindrome: A word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward.1
Palindrome dates only occur in the first few centuries of each millennium. While all the days 2/20/22 through 2/28/22 are palindromes, 2/22/22 is the most special because it lands on a Tuesday. Before the third millennium, the last palindrome date was August 31, 1380 (08/31/1380). In the third millennium, our first palindrome date was October 2, 2001 (10/02/2001). In November 2011, we celebrated two palindrome dates: 11/1/11 and 11/11/11. There were 22 palindrome dates in 2021.2
Featured is the quintessential example of the 1998 Leaf Rookies and Stars Extreme Measures Die Cut Frank Thomas. I can’t think of a better card to showcase on this day. The serial number, card number, and image of Frank Thomas all depict the number two, which is an exquisite coincidence.
